01-01-11 New Day, New Year, New Begining

January 1, 2011, what a way to start the year, your wedding. Mike and Allison were married on this date at SunRidge Canyon. Which turned out to be one of the coldest days we have had this winter so far. I would say while taking the formal pictures of Mike and Allison the temp was about 30 something. Neither of them complained.
When I met with Allison I instantly took a liking to her. It was comfortable. I was thrilled once I knew we would be working together. What a beauty she is and funny. While the girls were getting ready there were lots of laughs. Allison is super tight with her sister, I enjoyed watching the two interact.
Now here is a sight you do not see to often, snow on the mountains on the outskirts of Fountain Hills. Breathtaking.
The groom Mike, I'd say Allison did alright.:-) What a fabulous looking couple.

It was a beautiful wedding, despite the very cold weather. It didn't stop Mike and Allison and all their guest from having a great time at the reception. With the help from Scott Keough, the DJ. New day, new year, new beginning! I wish you all the best Allison and Mike.

~George and Catherine~

Image
I met Catherine just about a month before her wedding and truly liked her instantly. When we met she came alone and was so calm about her wedding and what she was looking for. I was pleased she booked me and looked forward to working with her and meeting George. When I got to Catherine's house she was again very calm and taking her time getting ready. That is when I met George for the first time, he to was very calm taking his time getting ready. The wedding was very simple, two people in love getting married. Once the I do's were said the rest of the afternoon looked like the next few images. Giddy, smile's, more smiles of joy. I loved watching them and would get caught up in the moment. Had to remind myself to take pictures:-) Catherine looked so beautiful, very classy and George so handsome, movie star couple status I would say. Again, more smiles, giggles and glances. It was so special to watch, I mean to take pictures of.;-) To look over the pictures one would not noti

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun
